Stock Market Outlook for 2025: Uncertainty and Continued Growth

The S&P 500, which many people's 401(k)s track, rose almost 28% this year as of Monday. The tech-heavy Nasdaq surged a remarkable 34% over that period, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 16%.

In recent months, the Fed has cut its benchmark rate three-quarters of a percentage point, dialing back its fight against inflation and providing some relief for borrowers burdened with high costs. Over time, rate cuts ease the burden on borrowers for everything from home mortgages to credit cards to cars, making it cheaper to get a loan or refinance one
